June 19, 20242 yr From The Thaiger British Airways (BA) resumes flights to Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok this year, marking a significant step in its regional expansion strategy. Chairman and CEO Sean Doyle expressed the importance of this strategic return. “For a global carrier like us, expanding our network in Asia as quickly as possible is crucial. With more aircraft joining our fleet in the coming years, we are looking East as well as West in our expansion plans.”

And they are only resuming it from Gatwick, using their 20+ yr old 777-200 aircraft. So no new biz seat, the 8 across seats will be there, and their oldest long range aircraft!

So at least one gets a bit more time to sort out the stamp collection. Or discuss local authority borders!
